REMARKS.
The amount of sickness amongst the prisoners
in 1865 considerably exceeds that of the pre
ceding year—being, in fact, nearly double.
This is readily understood by taking into ac
count the greatly increased number of prison
ers in the gaol. The treatment of the sick has
been greatly facilitated by the opening of the
infirmary or sick room, where every comfort
is supplied to the sick prisoner.
Although a considerable number of serious cases
occurred at intervals, only one death took
place in the year, in the case of an old man
much enfeebled by rheumatism, who had been
several months in hospital. According to cus
tom, a coroner’s inquest was held on view of
the body.
39 casualties occurred on the works, which were
considered so serious as to be admitted into
hospital.
For several months a man was treated in hospi
tal for cancer of the lower bowel. On receiv
ing a pardon from His Excellency, he was
transferred from the prison to the Provincial
Hospital, where he has since died. His case
is included in the hospital returns.
The average number of patients in hospital is
7. A general issue of inside flannel vests is recom
mended as the best preventive of rheumatic
pains, which are greatly complained of.
